System 5-B Digital Audio Mixing System Operation Manual

A CM408 module contains eight identical Strips, each with a Main and Swap channel 
with independent settings. The Strip is the physical control area on the console that 
contains switches, knobs, displays, and a fader. Figure 8-1 shows a Strip with its meter 
and status displays that appear on the meter bridge above the channel, and block diagrams 
for the Swap and Main channels. 

System 5-B provides tremendous flexibility in how channels are assigned to Strips and 
how the Strip controls the channel:

•

Any channel can be assigned to any Strip; assignments need not be consecutive.

•

Two Strips can control one channel, allowing two users to simultaneously oper-
ate that channel. 

•

Channels with related functions, such as individual drums or drum submixes, 
can be assigned to neighboring Strips.

•

Channel-to-Strip mappings can be named, stored, and recalled as Layouts 
(Section 10.1 - Layouts).

•

Channel settings can be named, stored, and recalled as Snapshots 
(Section 10.2 - Snapshots).

A 96-channel, 48-Strip configuration could map all channels to the control surface: 
Main (channels 1–48 to Strips 1–48); Swap (channels 49–96 to Strips 1–48). A 96-
channel, 24-Strip System 5 configuration cannot map all channels to the console at 
once but could use two Layouts to easily interchange all channels.
